Sugar

After yesterday, all couples have come to their expense, today on February 15, officially all singles celebrate the so called “Singles Awareness Day” and often “S.A.D.” abbreviated. But it’s not “Sad” at all 😉 You can celebrate together, eat out, give each other presents or just enjoy your single existence.However, if you are sad, simply add sugar to your coffee – because sugar makes happy … But which one?

It can be traced to Polynesia, where the cane comes from until about 400 BC.

It has been cultivated in India since the 5th century, and from there the crusaders brought the sugar to Europe in the 7th century, where until then only honey or natural sugar from cooked fruit was available for sweetening.

The imported sugar was for a long time a luxury property, which was used as a cure.

In the Middle Ages the rich of Europe used cane sugar to sweeten.

In the 16th century, brought by the Portuguese to South America, large-scale cultivation began in Brazil.

The sugar trade brought a huge wealth to the colonial powers for over 200 years.

In the middle of the 18th century the sugar was discovered in Germany from the domestic sugar beet.

The new independent sugar industry was cheaper and thus affordable to a large part of the population.
